    The base emotions Plato banned
    have left a radio-active and not radiant land.
    Libby Houston (b. 1941)

    A religion so cheerless, a philosophy so sorrowful, could never have succeeded with the masses of mankind if presented only as a system of metaphysics. Buddhism owed its success to its catholic spirit and its beautiful morality.
